It means he will be a doubt for the U21s’ trip to Fulham on Friday night, while his absence could have a knock-on effect for a Liverpool first-team squad increasingly depleted due to injuries. Nyoni is a full-time member of the first team and trains with Arne Slot‘s squad on a daily basis, meaning any absence is felt.

Hugo Ekitike is hopeful the issue which forced him off against Galatasaray’s senior side is simply cramp, but the Reds are also without Jayden Danns after he suffered a hamstring injury with the U21s last weekend. Speaking to The Athletic’s James Pearce following the win over Galatasaray’s youngsters, U21s head coach Rob Page confirmed the extent of Wright’s injury.

“No surgery, but it’s going to be a couple of months,” Page explained. “It wasn’t the main ligament he’s damaged, it was the one on the inside, so it is not as bad as we first thought.”
